Problem with Elisa, python errors.

Barrucadu · 2008-07-18 08:39:05

I've installed Elisa (on Arch x86_64) and all is working fine, except one thing. When I press enter when the cog icon is active, or click it, instead of opening the next screen as it does with all the other icons, nothing happens and an error message gets printed to stdout.

Elisa output (start to bug):

As you can see, that's quite a lot of warnings and tracebacks. This is the traceback for when I press enter on the cog icon:

Is there a simple solution to this?

I'm having the same problem.

jonkristian · 2008-07-22 14:33:59

I have some elisa packages available in aur, they work alot better than the ones in extra, http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18520

corection elisa isn't in extra. is in community
